TAGS

The Solomon Islands government, in partnership with Bloomberg Philanthropies Data for Health Initiative, World Health Organization (WHO), CDC Foundation, and University of New South Wales (UNSW), organised a Verbal Autopsy Workshop during 23 - 24 July 2024. The workshop involved senior officers from provincial health services and the Ministry of Health and Medical Services who discussed how verbal autopsies can be embedded in the health system to strengthen data for health. 

The workshop concluded with achievable recommendations, and the provincial targets for death notification and verbal autopsy coverage were established. These targets will allow the National Health Information System Unit and CDC Foundation to assess the provinces’ performance by March 2025.
